Jason Pierre-Paul says the back problems he experienced Saturday morning were not spasms. but just a pinching sensation he has encountered each year he starts getting ready for football.

“I don’t know why,” he added after saying he has suffered from the discomfort during the early practices of every season in which he has played football. “It bothers me when I get down in my stance, but not when I am standing up.”

Pierre-Paul says the discomfort usually lasts a few days before disappearning and never has returned during a season.
